Small Advice - Big Benefits

One of the most satisfying part of my work as a home stager is providing consultations to homeowners who need that extra info on what they should do to get their home ready for selling. Often their homes are already on the market and they don't understand why viewings are not turning into offers.

Several weeks ago, I had a real estate agent request a consultation for her client. This client was a wonderful lady who was in the process of making big changes in her life. After raising three children and a messy divorce, this client was eager to learn what she needed to do in order to get her home sold quickly. Together we walked through each of the rooms starting with the front entrance. We discussed things such as the importance of cleaning, packing away valuable and personal items, opening up traffic flows, using colour to liven up a space, decluttering and depersonalizing, and so much more. Overall it was a good two hours spent, where we set out a plan for her to work through. When it was time for me to go, she gave me a big hug and said she now felt confident she could get her home ready and sell it for a good price. She was now set to get to work.

Two weeks later, I returned to photograph her home for the real estate agent. The transformation was amazing and this client was pleased with the changes she had made. For me it was rewarding to see how this client had valued my advice and how I could have an impact on the lives of others. What a great job I have!!!
